Isolated adrenocorticotrophin deficiency and empty sella associated with hypothyroidism

W P Stephens et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 1985 Jun.

Abstract

A case of isolated ACTH deficiency is described. The patient had an empty sella and longstanding radio-iodine induced hypothyroidism. The association between isolated ACTH deficiency, empty sella and hypothyroidism is reviewed. It has not previously been recognized that the commonest endocrine association of isolated ACTH deficiency is primary thyroid failure. ACTH secretion does not recover following thyroxine replacement treatment.
